Patient Success Story: Newly Diagnosed Diabetes Care

Managing Type 2 diabetes doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With the right care team and tools, it’s possible to take control of your health. In this story, you’ll see how Amanda partnered with her providers to lower her A1C, lose weight, and build healthy habits that supported her wellbeing. 

The problem.

Amanda was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, a condition that made her worried about how to manage her health moving forward. Amanda was able to quickly connect with a First Stop Health Virtual Primary Care provider, taking an important first step in her care. But she felt overwhelmed by the day-to-day challenges of managing diabetes. Amanda needed more than just a diagnosis; she needed a team to guide her through the process. 

The solution.

Amanda worked with her care team to create a treatment plan that included GLP-1 medications, a referral for a diabetes eye exam, and the recommendation that Amanda meets with a certified diabetes educator at First Stop Health for support. Amanda met with a certified diabetes educator (CDE), who helped her understand her continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data and make informed decisions about her health.  

The result.

Through the support of her virtual care team, Amanda lost 32 pounds and her A1C dropped from over 14 to 5.2. Amanda was able to create lifestyle changes to improve her health with the support and guidance of her care team. She was happy to know that all her hard work paid off.  Amanda continues to follow her established plan of care with excitement about the progress she has made with First Stop Health.
